The latest statistics from Social Security Scotland show that at the end of April, some 476,295 people were receiving Adult Disability Payments (ADP), the devolved benefit that has replaced all new claims for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) north of the border. ‌

The data also shows that the average time to process a new claim for ADP is now 37 working days, just over seven weeks. This means people making a new claim in July could have an award decision before the end of September, although it's important to be aware that some applications can take shorter or longer to process. ‌
